Job Description

Here, you will become an important part of the diagnostic process, especially within cancer care. The work is varied and combines practical laboratory work with quality, technology, and development.

Depending on your experience and the needs of the operation, you may work with:

• handling and preparation of tissue and cell samples
• laboratory work within histology and cytology
• manual and automated analysis methods
• digital workflows and modern equipment
• development and improvement of the laboratory's processes and working methods
• quality follow-up and method development
• close collaboration with colleagues within several professional groups in the entire analysis chain

We operate in an environment where development is moving forward quickly. New analysis methods, digitalization, and modern technology create better conditions for fast and safe diagnostics – and you become part of that development.

At the same time, our core operations depend on a stable and efficient flow every day. A large number of samples pass through the laboratory, and each sample represents a patient waiting for answers. Therefore, it is important that we work together in a structured manner, maintain a good pace, and take responsibility for the quality at every step of the process.

Here, you need to thrive in an operation where production, precision, and patient focus go hand in hand. We help each other to maintain high quality, meet our response times, and ensure that every sample is handled with care and respect.
